Tottenham must battle Liverpool for Adrien Rabiot.
Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy loves a bargain and his recent dealings with Paris Saint-Germain will mean the North London side will be well aware of Adrien Rabiot’s situation.
The four time Ligue 1 winner has been linked over the past 24 hours with Liverpool, with ESPN reporting Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has held talks with Rabiot’s agent.
Rabiot is set to become available on a free transfer next summer when his contract expires and he already looks like becoming Europe’s most in demand free agent.
Liverpool invested heavily in the transfer window and a move for Rabiot will strengthen them even more.
Tottenham must pull out the stops to sign Rabiot themselves, and beat Liverpool to his signature.
Spurs are in need of midfield reinforcements, with Mousa Dembele into the final year of his contract, and both Victor Wanyama and Harry Winks struggling with injuries.
Rabiot has been linked to Tottenham ever since he was a teenager and he has grown as a player considerably since, forcing his way into the France international team.
The 23-year-old would help take Spurs to a whole new level, and stepping aside and letting Liverpool win the race for his signature would be a big mistake.
